Prince Harry is reportedly working to convince King Charles to attend the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027 — an appearance that could mark a major public royal reunion and bring the family closer together.
The Duke of Sussex is also expected to extend an invitation to Prince William and Princess Kate to grace the event.
William and Kate’s presence would be a huge victory for the Sussexes and a powerful symbol of unity.
However, it is still too early to predict whether the future monarch and Catherine will join the California-based family at the Games, especially as the King appears eager to reconcile with the Sussexes.
If the King were to accept Harry’s invitation, it would be difficult for the Waleses to decline.
Sources say Harry also understands that King Charles is unlikely to accept until the same olive branch is extended to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
In their last meeting, the monarch did not directly urge Harry to reconcile with his elder brother and sister-in-law, William and Kate. Instead, he subtly reminded the Sussexes of his deep desire to see the family united, emphasizing just how important William and Kate are to him and to the future of the monarchy.
Yet, if reconciliation is what the Duke truly seeks, it will take more than good intentions. A rift built over years cannot be mended in days or with a handful of loving gestures. To move forward, Harry must work to restore trust, respect, and credibility — one meaningful gesture at a time.
Prince Harry and the organisers of the Invictus Games are reportedly planning to extend an invite to the British monarch for the event, which was founded by the Duke in 2014 for wounded, injured, and sick military service personnel and veterans.
